Catbat is the boss of theSapphire Passage inWario Land 4. It is a large, ghost-like cat with a bat on its head. This monster has the features and wings of a bat, and is able to fly in the air. The time given to defeat the boss varies on thegame mode: in Normal, it is 4:00, in Hard, it is 3:00, and in S-Hard, it is 2:00. Catbat can create waves from crashing into the pool, thoughWario can damage Catbat by riding the waves and thenramming into its bat head. After each attack, Catbat becomes enraged and spits out three purplemines, which turn him intoPuffy Wario on contact. The Catbat's reaction to this is laughing and and running across to the other side as time is wasted for Wario. Catbat can be knocked back via ramming, but doing so causes it to spit out a mine each time. After enough hits, the bat head is destroyed, leaving a bald patch on Catbat's head and enraging it further, as it will now spit out red mines, which damage Wario instead. Catbat can now take damage from Wario performing aground pound on its head from the newly undulating wave. When Catbat is at critically low health, it will continually spawn red mines individually. After enough hits, Catbat is defeated and Wario is rewarded with the creature'sBracelets.
Catbat's battle area has a pool of water in the floor, with amechanical fish swimming back and forth through the water.
